U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert, a Tea Party Texas Republican, went fictional on President Barack Obama. Gohmert, appearing on Fox&Friends on Dec. 30, 2016, compared Obama to Ra's al Ghul, a Batman villain known for emptying a prison of insane criminals to destroy Gotham.

U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas said President Barack Obama was like Batman villain Ra's ah Ghul, only taking orders from the Islamic State. Gohmert said the organization told Obama that terrorists would come to the U.S. along with Syrian refugees and Obama was OK with the idea.

Ra's al Ghul, played by Liam Neeson in the movie "Batman Begins," is known for emptying out Arkham asylum of insane criminals to destroy Gotham. U.S. Rep.

Gohmert on race relations under Obama and his basketball coach who was black:

"But unlike my favorite coach in high school, who happened to be black, he has been more divisive -- when I had a coach that brought us together as a team like never before. I thought this president would do that. He has divided more than united, so that’s been heartbreaking."

Congressmen on both sides of the aisle are attracted to Gohmert's culinary skills, particularly his barbecue cookouts. In 2014, he and California House Rep. Grace Napolitano, D-Calif., won the best congressional cook award from the Washingtonian.

"We are
still borrowing money from the Chinese. And, once again, the irony here
is incredible. We are going to borrow more money from the Chinese to
possibly give them money back to create habitats for wild dogs and cats
that are rare.
There is no assurance that if we did that we wouldn't end up with moo
goo dog pan or moo goo cat pan."

"So
when they (caribou) want to go on a date, they invite each other to head
over to the pipeline ... So my real concern now ... if oil stops
running through the pipeline ... do we need a study to see how adversely
the caribou would be affected if that warm oil ever quit flowing?"

In 2010, Gohmert sounded the alarm about what he called "terror babies."
He accused terrorists of sending pregnant women across the Mexican
border to birth children who "could be raised and coddled as future
terrorists."

: The Texas congressman spoke to a group of business leaders in 2013, warning them of radical Islamists impersonating Hispanics. “Why? Because we don’t have any fear of Hispanics coming into the country, but we’ve got concerns about radical Islamists.”

Not too long after the Sandy Hook massacre, Gohmert went on Fox News to argue mass shootings happen where citizens are unarmed. "Chris, I wish to God she had had an M4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out ... and takes him out and takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids."

Before putting himself in the running, Gohmert tried to replace John Boehner with then-Florida representative and Tea Party icon Allen West. You may remember him for this classic quote: “I’m a conservative because I understand that real peace comes from the Marine Corps, not the Peace Corps."

In response to Sen. John McCain's opposition to the federal shutdown, Gohmert said it was just another day for an Al Qaeda sympathizer. "When it comes to the shutdown that’s going on, I heard just before I came on, some senator from Arizona — a guy that liked Gadhafi before he wanted to bomb him, a guy that liked Mubarak before he wanted him out, a guy that’s been to Syria and supported al Qaeda and the rebels — but he was saying today the shutdown has been a fool’s errand, and I agree with him."

On a radio interview this year, the Texas congressman railed against the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy for LGBT members in the armed forces. “It’s a different kind of fighting, it’s a different kind of war. And if you’re sitting around getting massages all day ready to go into a big, planned battle, then you’re not going to last very long.”

Alongside fellow congressmen Steve King and Michelle Bachman, Gohmert went to visit Egypt and give thanks to the government for overthrowing the previous administration. “We met with for a long meeting General el-Sissi and many of the military leaders, and my friend Steve King mentioned again about our heritage in America. George Washington, doing what no one had ever done before him, led a military in revolution, won the revolution, and then resigned and went home.”

In 2013, the Texas congressman had a fiery Q&A with then-U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder. The highlight came when Gohmert took offense at Holder attacking his integrity. "The attorney general will not cast aspersions on my asparagus."

On a conservative radio program in 2013, the Texas congressman railed against the idea of sex education being taught to children, saying it reminded him of Cold War Russia. "And it reminds me so much of the summer that I was an exchange student in the Soviet Union back in the Seventies and I was shocked when they were saying 'no, the children don't belong to parents, they belong to the state.'"

Gohmert on refugees and elections:

In an interview with the Family Research Council in September 2016, Gohmert declared that Democrats were using illegal immigrants and felons to vote illegally. "And they know which party will be most helpful to them who have no regard for the law."

"Especially if it is a president. Hillary has a great chance to be a dictator if she’s the president.," Gohmert told "Breitbart News Saturday" on Oct. 29. During the interview, Gohmert also knocked Republican senators as being disinterested in holding any Democratic president accountable.

Gohmert on Barack Obama: Speaking Dec. 30, 2016, Gohmert said President Barack Obama was being told by the Islamic State that terrorists would arrive in the U.S. along with Syrian refugees. "And he says, "Great, send 'em, let's bring 'em on, we're going to have them all here for Trump," Gohmert said. He then compared Obama to Batman villain Ra's al Ghul (played by Liam Neesom in "Batman Begins as pictured above). less

Texas Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert picked a very Louie Gohmert way to end 2016.

Speaking on Fox & Friends on Friday, Gohmert likened President Barack Obama to the Batman villain Ra's al Ghul for his handling of refugees.

A quick reminder: Ra's al Ghul, in the movie "Batman Begins," frees a prison full of dangerous criminals as part of a plan to destroy Gotham. And, just FYI: Ra's al Ghul is Arabic for "head of the demon."
